Chapter 80: Auction to buy a spaceship
Back at the college, Qingshi went to the college affairs office to find Elder Wen and returned the airship. When he asked about his master Ou Changzhi, Elder Wen said there was no news.
After calculating the time, it was almost a year since the master left. Qingshi went to the hospital office to find Mo Sihai. It happened that Mo Sihai also wanted to find Qingshi. Mo Sihai told Qingshi that master Ou Changzhi had left Tianlong Continent and he did not know his specific whereabouts.
After briefly asking about Qingshi's situation, Mo Sihai took out a letter and handed it to Qingshi: "Starting from this school year, you will transfer to Qidao Inner Academy to study."
"Ah?" Qingshi asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Master said that it is a waste of time to practice Alchemy with your talent," Mo Sihai said, "So you can just play around with Alchemy when you have time, and the focus should be on martial arts. Martial arts practice On the other hand, your focus is on the improvement of Qi cultivation and understanding, so at this stage you do not need to enter the martial arts academy to major in martial arts. Go to the Qi Dao Academy to practice Qi Dao, which is good for improving your understanding, so you Go to the Qi Dao Academy to study for three years. Martial arts will be the main focus, Qi Dao and Formation Dao will be secondary. Don’t study Alchemy Dao for the time being. This is Master’s arrangement.”
"Yes!" Qingshi knew that this arrangement was right before he finished listening to Mo Sihai's words. It was the best way for him to learn at present. Master Ou Changzhi and Qinglong's evaluation of him was surprisingly consistent, so Qingshi immediately agreed.
"But senior brother," Qingshi said, "you need at least a second-level weapon refiner qualification certificate to enter the inner courtyard of the weapon path, but I don't have one!"
"When you go to report, Zhong Buqi will organize an assessment for you," Mo Sihai said. "There are instructions in this letter. You can take it to Zhong Buqi. He is the vice president of the Inner Court of Qi Dao. , everything is arranged by him, and I have also said hello to Dean Du."
"What if I fail the exam?" Qingshi asked.
"I believe you can pass the exam," Mo Sihai said with a smile, "Zhong Buqi will let you pass. If he wants to make things difficult for you, just use the rules to deal with him. You are a master uncle."
"Yes, I understand." Qingshi also laughed, and then said, "But can I not move?" Qingshi is used to living by the lake and does not want to move to the hillside accommodation area in the inner courtyard of Qidao. Besides, he I'm used to using the weapon refining room, alchemy room and wine cellar in the dormitory next door, and I don't want to bother moving again.
"Haha!" Mo Sihai laughed, "Why do you need to tell me such a trivial matter! Just tell Wen Siyu yourself, go ahead!"
The Way of Weapons is relatively the easiest among the three ways of magic, so the number of monks who practice the Way of Weapons is also relatively large. The first two levels of the Way of Weapons assessment are limited to the forging of various materials and the refining of ordinary utensils. From the third level onwards, It involves the refining of spiritual weapons, which means that to pass the third-level weapon refiner examination, you must have the ability to refine at least yellow-level low-grade spiritual weapons.
Regarding the refining of spiritual weapons, Qingshi's memory contains a large number of high-level spiritual weapon refining techniques from Xiao Lou in his previous life, but they are all incomplete theories. Qingshi has not practiced them because his current Qi cultivation is too low.
The forging of materials and the refining of bluestone with ordinary tools are still very good. The second-level weapon refiner assessment was relatively easy to complete, and Zhong Buqi's help was not required. As for other transfer procedures, it was even simpler. Zhong Buqi took care of it directly.
For Qingshi, transferring to the Qi Dao Academy means that Zhang Hao will no longer have to find a way to help him complete the alchemy class. He can justifiably stop taking the alchemy class. In addition, the number of Qi Dao classes will be increased, and the formation will be improved. The number of Taoist classes has been reduced a bit, but other aspects have not changed much.
Except for some friends, not many people noticed Qingshi's transfer. Even among the students of Dan Dao Inner Academy and Qidao Inner Academy, it did not cause much reaction.
Tianlong Academy has never lacked geniuses, nor has it ever lacked eccentrics. In the eyes of most people, Qingshi is now just a eccentric, far less eye-catching than the geniuses from the Martial Arts Academy.
In this new school year, the students in the college have changed a lot. A large number of students from the Martial Arts Academy and the Third Academy of Shudao have graduated, and Qingshi is also a senior student.
In the new school year, it is the freshman season again, and the various ranking lists in the college have also undergone great changes. In addition to the Dragon and Tiger Ranking of the Martial Arts Institute and the Tianlong Ranking of the entire college, another ranking has also been updated, and that is the Tianlong Ranking. The equally famous list of the top ten beauties of Tianlong Academy.
The original five beauties, including Li Siqi and Yan Jiang, all graduated and left the academy this season. Soon, the bad guys publicly selected five new beauties to join the list.
Qingshi also listened to Zhang Hao and a few brothers talking about the new beauty list in his spare time. Among the original top ten beauties, there were still two beauties. Qingshi recognized Minghui and Yin Yuhuang, and among the new beauties, There are two beauties whom I know well, Shen Binghong and Duan Xiaoyu.
Three years have passed, and the two little girls, who were originally fourteen or fifteen years old, have reached the age of blooming, becoming fresh, refined, and beautiful.
Time passed very quickly, and three months passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, when Qingshi had been practicing Dahuang Gong for the sixth week, he suddenly felt that the true energy in his body moved abnormally, and the speed of condensation of energy into liquid accelerated. He couldn't help but be overjoyed at the signs of promotion. You must know that he had just promoted to the first level more than a month ago. Sure enough, two hours later, Qingshi successfully promoted to the third level of Qi Condensation Realm again.
In total, it took less than half a year to go from the first level to the third level of Qi Condensation Realm. For Qingshi, this was already very fast. This is mainly due to the treasures presented by Master and Chun Niang.
Chun Niang and the others gave Qing Shi a lot of treasures this time. In addition to a large number of high-grade and top-quality spiritual stones, the most treasures that can improve the cultivation of Qi, such as the Hundred Flowers Jade Liquid that Gui Huadong once gave to Qing Shi, this time Chun Niang gave it to Qing Shi. The son gave three large bottles of bluestone, as well as several other rare resources.
After rising to the level of Zhenqi cultivation, Qingshi felt that his ability to control martial arts was naturally enhanced. The next day, he practiced Juechen, an earth-level movement technique, to the level of Xiaocheng. This was Qingshi's main training goal during this period. Qingshi I believe that even Chen Tianye cannot catch up with me now.
Thinking of Chen Tianye, Qingshi remembered something and contacted Chen Tianye and said to find him.
In a single-family villa in Huaguoshan, Chen Tianye was half lying on a terrace chair, stroking his mustache and saying, "Your zhenqi cultivation has been improving very quickly recently! What level are you at?"
"You don't care!" Qingshi said, "And who do you call a boy? No matter how big or small. My ray of fire is gone. Do you still have any? Give me two bottles."
"Yes, little~Master~Uncle~!" Chen Tianye threw two bottles of wine over and teased, "You didn't come to me to beg for a drink, right? How about I go to Liangyuan and buy you 10,000 kilograms of Four Seasons Spring? wine?"
"What a beautiful idea!" Qingshi said, "Don't give me any trouble."
"Then what are your orders?" Chen Tianye continued teasingly.
"No matter how arrogant you are," Qingshi glared at Chen Tianye and said, "I will make you bow and call me uncle every time you see me."
"Okay, no kidding!" Chen Tianye said with a smile, "What's the matter? It's not okay to call you kid, and I'm not happy to call you uncle. It's true."
"Is there any auction recently? I want to go there and buy some things." Qingshi said.
"Yes!" Chen Tianye turned over and sat up when he became interested, then rolled his eyes and sighed, "There was supposed to be a show tomorrow, but the amount of spiritual stones the master gave me was not very large. I couldn't afford it. If I’m not greedy and heartbroken about the food, I’d better not go there.”
"Come on!" Qingshi scolded with a smile, "Using your master's money to attack your uncle again, you are really promising!"
"Use the elders' money!" Chen Tianye said sternly, "It's only natural! What's there to be embarrassed about?"
"Hey!" Qingshi shook his head and said, "Come with me for a walk tomorrow. You can buy some gadgets. If it's too expensive, go to your master."
"Yes! Good uncle! Good brother!" Chen Tianye beamed.
This time at the auction, Qingshi bought a large amount of five-star Qi pills, as well as the spirit blood of the spiritual beast Yunji Fox, which can increase mental power. This time he was lucky enough to buy twice as much as last time.
In addition, Qingshi also bought a spaceship. This is a private spaceship manufactured by Tianlong Continent's Beihai Shipyard. It is about ten feet long. It has no defense system or weapon system, but its flying speed is good, faster than the academy's small airship. many.
This alone cost Qingshi 86,800 high-grade spiritual stones, which shocked Chen Tianye to the point of being dumbfounded.
Chen Tianye took a fancy to a treasure that could help him practice a special martial skill, and Qingshi spent 3,300 high-grade spiritual stones to buy it for him.
After buying these, the auction was not over yet. Qingshi looked at the introduction of important items and found nothing he needed, so he and Chen Tianye went out to visit the store of the Chamber of Commerce. Qingshi also wanted to see if he could buy the spiritual beast inner elixir that stimulated his own bloodline and made Xiaopang ecstatic, but he couldn't find it again, so he had to go back home with Chen Tianye.
After returning to the academy, Qingshi placed the spacecraft in a cave near the west gate and went to conduct research whenever he had time. The focus of Qingshi's research was the power system of the spacecraft.
He has long discovered that the reason why spaceships in this world can levitate and fly in the air is somewhat similar to the magnetic levitation technology on Earth.
The driving device on the spacecraft stimulates the spirit stone as the energy source to generate energy, which reacts with the spiritual energy in the air to generate a repulsive force. By controlling this repulsive force, the spacecraft will levitate and move in the air.
The reason why monks in the Shenyuan realm are able to fly in the air is actually based on this principle. Of course, this reaction process will consume both the energy of the spacecraft and the aura in the air.
Qingshi disassembled the drive system of the spacecraft to study it. After several months, Qingshi finally fully understood the working principle of the flying magic weapon, its internal structure, etc.
He discovered a problem, that is, it is feasible to simply modify this flying magic weapon to increase the speed, but it is not possible to rely on it to fly out of the Tianlong World.
The reason is very simple. The higher you fly, the thinner the air becomes. Although the resistance is reduced, without air there is no aura. Therefore, relying on this driving device alone, you cannot fly out of the atmosphere of Tianlong World. .
However, Qingshi is not too worried. He has his own idea, which is to design and manufacture a device that can carry the energy source of spiritual energy, and just bind this device to the spacecraft. This is like a hydrogen-oxygen rocket on Earth. The hydrogen fuel it carries does not need to react with the oxygen in the air. The oxygen element it needs is also carried by itself.
For Qingshi, a master of science in the 21st century on earth, these theories are not a problem. What is difficult is how to implement them.
However, now that there is a ready-made driving magic weapon, Qingshi believes that he can achieve his goal through technological improvement and innovation, and finally create a spacecraft that can fly away from the Tianlong World.
Of course, there is no need to worry at all now. Qingshi's most important thing is martial arts training, and the research on spaceships only takes up a small part of Qingshi's time.
